5.0 out of 5 stars 3 awesome games, but nothing new., January 22, 2003

This review is from: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Gold Edition (CD-ROM)

This package includes Tom Clancy's GHOST RECON, Tom Clancy's GHOST RECON: DESERT SIEGE, and Tom Clancy's GHOST RECON: ISLAND THUNDER.

GHOST RECON is the groundbreaking squad-based combat game. It is the best Tom Clancy game to date, and featured multiple strategies for playing, ranging from stealth to guns-blazing. The online play was phenomenal and free of lag; and can still be played. Graphics are good, but actually look a little dated.

GHOST RECON: DESERT SIEGE is the first expansion pack to GHOST RECON. It obviously took on a desert setting; but also featured many improvements. The game still had its excellent online play; but it seemed to be a slight rehash.

GHOST RECON: ISLAND THUNDER is the best and most recent expansion pack. The one-player difficulty is harder, but not to the point where people will quit. The multiplayer (online) levels seem more interesting this time, and have unique new places to take cover.

Each expansion pack improved over the last one, and made up for 3 great games. If you never tried an online squad-based combat game, you owe it to yourself. If you already own these, there is nothing new here. Console gamers who enjoyed SOCOM: US NAVY SEALS or who liked the port of GHOST RECON will find this interesting and worthwile. People who were disappointed in CONFLICT: DESERT STORM or who want a squad-based take on RAINBOW SIX would do wise also to check this out.

5.0 out of 5 stars An original game destined to be a classic..., April 17, 2003

By

This review is from: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Gold Edition (CD-ROM)

Ghost Recon Gold Edition is a must have for any fan of First Person Shooters (FPS). These three games are unlike any other because of the realism. All three are very challenging and Island Thunder is by far the most difficult. The Gold Edititon consists of the original, which takes place in western Asia, Eastern Europe; Desert Seige, which is set in northeast Africa; and Island Thunder, which is set in the jungles of Cuba. The games themselves are addictive and I usually find myself playing them until the wee hours of the morning. This game will scare the pants off of you and make you break into cold sweats because of all of the tension. The enemies in this game are very intelligent and will sneak up on you and flank you if you do not pay attention. The graphics and sound are great and the controls are challenging at first, but are easy to master. I can honestly say there are no shortcomings. The single player missions are very dynamic and the choice of how to achieve the mission objectives is usually left up to the player. To me, it doesn't get any better than Ghost Recon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ghost Recon - The greatest tactical shooter EVER, April 19, 2003

By

This review is from: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Gold Edition (CD-ROM)

If you're tired of "Twitch" games and fairy tale combat featured in the likes of BF1942, Medal of Honor, and RTCW, then Ghost Recon was made for you. PC gamer called Ghost the "Greatest Tactical Shooter EVER" when it came out - and they were dead on. This game is the most perfect blend of realism and playability I have ever seen in an FPS style game...PERIOD.

The single player missions are well designed, with increasing levels of difficulty. But it's Multiplayer that really shines here. No other game forces you to think and react as you would in real life. Running through open fields, guns blazing is a fast ticket to "Game Over" here. Instead, you have to consider each move and try and out think your opponent.

A true credit to the Rising Storm family, Ghost Recon is the LAST shooter you'll ever buy...until Ghost Recon 2 comes out anyway.
